Types and Kinds of Termites
Termites in the order of Isoptera. They are beneficial insects that break down dead and dying plant material in nature. A protozoan is used in their hindgut to break down cellulose. But, they are pests when feeding on wooden structures.
Termite colony structure consists of three casts: workers, soldiers, and reproductives.
Drywood termites and Subterranean termites are the destructive types, and Rottenwood and Agricultural termites are of no consequence to structures. iPro Pest Control specializes in Subterranean Termite control and works closely with a person specializing in Drywood termites. Please call us if either is found during a real estate inspection. iPro can rectify this issue so your property can be sold immediately.
Subterranean Termites
Conventional subterranean control involves trenching and drilling to provide a continuous barrier. Bait stations provide non-continuous treatment zones. iPro Pest Control provides both services but recommends homes be treated using conventional controls.
Eastern Subterranean Termite Colony –
The non-native Formosan Subterranean Termites are very aggressive. They will try to bite when a tunnel is broken open. Formosan Termites are more aggressive and do more damage than the native eastern Subterranean Termites. They do not need contact with the soil if there is enough moisture in the structure’s wood. A Formosan colony separating from the soil and deriving moisture from the structure may require structural fumigation. iPro works closely with a company that provides this service.
